EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment frozen in time, showcasing French legionnaire colonial soldiers at a base in Casablanca, Morocco in 1905. The soldiers stand tall and proud, their uniforms crisp and their expressions stoic. The backdrop of the base gives us a glimpse into the daily lives of these brave men who served on foreign soil as part of the French empire. The image exudes a sense of strength and resilience, highlighting the dedication and sacrifice required of those who serve in the military. It serves as a reminder of the complexities of colonialism and imperialism that were prevalent during this period in history. Casablanca, with its exotic allure and strategic importance, was an essential outpost for the French empire. The soldiers stationed here played a crucial role in maintaining order and control over this North African territory. As we gaze upon this postcard from over a century ago, we are transported back to a time when empires clashed and borders shifted. It is a poignant reminder of the human cost behind such grand geopolitical ambitions. This print is not just an artifact from history; it is a testament to the courage and commitment displayed by these French legionnaire colonial soldiers who stood guard at this remote base so far away from home.
